Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g dark chocolate chopped
  • 60 g unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
For Greasing
  • Butter
  • Cocoa powder or flour

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease two ramekins with butter and dust them with cocoa powder.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate and butter together until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until well combined.
  5. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Fold gently until a smooth batter forms.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft.
  8. Let the cakes rest for 1-2 minutes, then carefully invert onto serving plates.
  9. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Avoid overbaking to keep the center molten.
  • Every oven is different, so test your ideal baking time if making this recipe for the first time.
  • Serve immediately for the ultimate gooey lava effect.
